First established in 2003, the LGBT Equity Scholarship Fund was renamed in 2022 in honor of Dr. Luke S. Jensen, the founding director of the LGBTQ+ Equity Center who retired in 2021 after 30 years of distinguished service to the University of Maryland community. This fund provides scholarships for undergraduate or graduate students who are affiliated with the LGBTQ+ Equity Center and have demonstrated a commitment to the empowerment of LGBTQ+ people and communities.
